Chords for Noah Gundersen plays "California" at CPR's OpenAir

_ California, _ _ [G] golden morning _ [Em] I can feel it in the silence [C] of the room
_ _ [G] On the carpet, _ shadows creeping From [Em] the window, it's a room without [C] a view
_ _ [G] Just the creeping, _ [C] _
[G] endless traffic [C] _ [Em] Stretching off into a wash of [C] hazy heat
[G] _
On my mattress, _ keeling out _ [C] _ [Em] Trying not to [C] call you _ [G] _ _ in
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
All the vampires _ of the valley _ _ [Em] Cracking jokes and blowing smoke [G] like cigarettes
_ _ While their mothers _ in the suburbs _ [C]
Taking pills with wine and trying to forgive
[G] _ _ Roads of houses, _ empty windows _ [Em] Lit with silent signs of life [C] from the deep
[G] _ _
While the _ _ water's disappearing _ Down [Em] the cracks in the [C] concrete
_ _ _ And if you look, [G] you will see That [Em] I got blood [E] _ [D] on my [G] sleeve
And [C] I can be _
[Em] _ anything _ That [G] you want _ [D] me to be _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ In California, in California
I'm tearing at the seams _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Don't make me make up my mind I'm running out of time
Don't make me make up my mind I'm running out of time
Don't make me make up my mind I'm running out of time
Don't [Em] make me make up [G] my mind I'm running out in [C] California _ _ _ _ _ _
